Both pairs of lines below contain enjambment, but what device do “puffballs” and “shades”, which end one thought while beginning another, represent?

“Spiders were weaving, in the mould heaving / puffballs loomed about my knees” – Tolkien, The Sea Bell

“cuckoos are here with joyous / shades of dark green arise!” – LiteraryDevices Editors, Short Examples of Enjambment, #5

The first one is metaphor, as the puffballs represent the “mould,” while the “shades” is a personification as they have been shown as human beings arising to enjoy the voice of cuckoos.
